Save Tigers To Save Ecology And To Save Our National Pride.

Tiger is the largest of all the cats. Of all the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers, and tigers may often be found bathing in ponds, lakes and rivers. Tigers hunt alone, and their diet consists primarily of medium-sized herbivores such as barking deer, sambar, elk, chital, swamp deer, red deer, rusa deer, wild pigs and buffalo, but they will also take larger prey if the circumstances demand it.

Tigers are mammals of the Felidae family, one of four ?big cats? that belong to the Panthera genus. Tigers are predatory carnivores. Zoological Name-Panthera tigris. This magnificent animal is a heavily muscled and powerful predator that employs stalk and ambush tactics to bring down large prey, using the characteristic stripy coat as camouflage. Unlike other cats, tigers are good swimmers and often cool off in lakes and streams during the heat of the day. Sadly, they have been pushed to the edge of existance through hunting and habitat loss, with three of the eight subspecies already extinct, and the other subspecies at high risk. I think after few years we will see tigers only on photos and videos.


I will give few data of consistent decline in tiger population collected from various surveys.
Year------Total Tigers Present
1972--------------1827
1979--------------3017
1984--------------3959
1989--------------3854
1993--------------3750
1997--------------3455
2010-----------------1411

If this is right statistics am sorry to say 2015 hardly we can see any tigers left in india and the root cause of such a decline of tigers population is nor other than HUMAN that means we. I think more or less we all are responsible for this drastic situation of tigers.

                                                                 Therefore, I request all Indians to stand together and spread awareness among all people to save our national pride the TIGER. And some strict laws should be implemented to save TIGERS. I am requesting please leave a comment after reading this article and give me a feed back.

Remember we will and we can make a difference............
